Neither way round is going to work very well. The platform hardware will
look (to Windows) to be entirely different in the two cases. Thus it will
most liekly require you to re-activate your license. Also it'll have the
wrong drivers installed and hence you'll have a bunch of driver
re-installation every time you switch between native and Xen.

There's a plan, but not much of a schedule. Some of the cleanup work I've
been doing in xen-unstable just now will help. I'd like to think we'll have
it done by Xen 3.3; Xen 3.2 is probably too close at this point.
